We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but the safety of our employees and the community is the utmost importance to our organization.
The following events will be postponed and rescheduled at a later date:
March 14, 2020: Entrepreneurship & Innovation Conference
March 16, 2020: Build Your Own Website
March 17, 2020: Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
March 18, 2020: Women’s Business Connect: From Woe to Wow!

“Although it is disheartening to see community events being cancelled or postponed, public safety is paramount,” says Kevin Weidlich, President & CEO of the WBEDC. “We will continue to follow Alberta Health Services (AHS) recommendations to ensure the safety of our employees, stakeholders and the community.”
With COVID-19 awareness growing across the country, province and region, Alberta Health Services (AHS) remains the trusted authority on COVID-19 for the WBEDC.
